Bad c! No cookie! We do not use symbolic references.

Instead, make a hash of hashes (or HoH). So, do something like:

my %asn;
for my $i (@asnValues)
{
    my @asnParams = split / /, $i;
    my $keyName = $asnParams[0];

    $asn{$keyName}{risk} = $queueNsp[2];
}

Treat it as you would a 2-D array in C or BASIC or JAVA or any other language. The only difference is that you don't have to pre-declare it. Perl does that for you on the fly. (If you don't need or want to know how, then just assume it will work and go about your business.)

We are the carpenters and bricklayers of the Information Age.

Don't go borrowing trouble. For programmers, this means Worry only about what you need to implement.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
